Hi all
I did a Christmas demo yesterday and still felt in the Christmas crafting mood so I make this 22cm high snowflake wall hanging...I used silent night papers from Trimcraft which I distressed with antique linen distress ink. I punched some snowflakes, made a rosette for the centre using a TH die. I added the ribbon and hey ho there it is. I really quite like it ...that is something coming from me as I don't particularly like Christmas decorations at all
